Voted for Hulk again, Kurse was a beast who dominated Thor, but Thor still got straight back-up after the fight, so I think Hulk would as well. Plus, the madder Hulk gets the stronger he gets, that always gives him an advantage over other super-strong beings.

It happened it TIH vs The Abomination and TA vs Thor, by the time the SHIELD jet arrived to break up the fight, Hulk was throwing Thor all over the place. Had the fight not stopped there things may have gotten bad for Thor.

He does get strong, I see that, I don't know about "exponentially" though, that's not what I saw in those films.

The only thing we've seen even bother Kurse is a black hole. Is Hulk generating light-bending amounts of force with his punches? Can he get that strong in the MCU? If he can, can he get there before Kurse dismembers him?

Well, Hulk has a healing factor and pretty good durability of his own.

I think really the way it's presented in the different films is that Hulk's feats of strength are presented in a way that makes them more impressive and awe inspiring whereas Kurse was mainly shown as tank who doesn't die.

^Yep, exactly, Kurse got ran through with a spear, Hulk was shaking off bulletts and alien weapons like they were nothing, not to mention a full on smack in the face from Mjolnir. Hulk is just as if not more durable than Kurse was, and his strength feats are more impressive given what we have seen as well.

The "limitless strength as the Hulk gets angrier" thing is not part of the movie-verse and is only ever mentioned in the comics, and even then it's never shown in any way. I mean, Hulk fought the Beyonder and Infinity Gauntlet Thanos and other powerhouses like Zeus in comics, but every time his strength was actually limited and he was rather easily defeated.

Kurse as shown in TTDW would have been able to take movie Hulk down, without a doubt.

^This is what I'm seeing too. There's no doubt Hulk is the cooler character, more impressive feats of strength, but as OSexton said, Kurse is a tank who can't die. That means Hulk ain't beating him, at best its a stalemate.

Getting run through with an Asgardian spear is not a feat Hulk has been shown to be able to withstand, much less withstand with no adverse effects whatsoever. Loki shrugged off bullets too but he apparently couldn't shrug off an Asgardian spear.

we haven't seen Kurse getting exhausted in a fight since he was defeated by a trick of Loki, so I'm not certain. I guess the length of the fight, the durability of the characters are issues. If it's a short brawl, Kurse might be the winner, but if the fight is a longer one, we just don't know.
Therefore I didn't vote.

I vote hulk but I have a major problem with the mcu and each characters strength. In the avengers iron man takes Thor's best shots and is pretty much a draw, hulk and Thor fight to a draw then Thor gets his ass handed to him by kurse, and the mandarin ( killian) destroys iron man suits like they were cardboard cutouts. So killian would make short work of kurse? I am in no way knocking the films but there is some inconsistenties that make it difficult to think about the question too much.

Cap interrupted the Thor-Iron Man fight. If the fight continued, Tony was toast. Thor and Kurse would both have made short work of Killian.
